Today we got the results from Carson's bloodwork and he doesn't have the bleeding disorder they thought he had. Yay! I can't express the relief that news brings! I don't think we'll be able to do his tonsil surgery this summer though because we have now run out of time. As I type, the boys are building lego farms, cars, ships, and animals about 4 feet away from me and talking to me so I think this one will be short. Can't believe just two more weeks until school starts! I have really enjoyed our summer schedule.

So Carson didn't have his surgery yet. Turns out he didn't pass a blood screening test for von Willdebrand's disease and they sent us on to a very good hospital to get that checked out. We haven't yet heard the results should be any day. I am not the best at waiting. I want to do things when I want to do them. I want to get results right away. It is very hard for me to distract myself and just wait. I suppose it is a lesson that I haven't learned yet and that is probably why it keeps getting repeated. In other news, the whole family has bikes now and we have been going riding about three times a week at the local school. It is my first attempt at bike riding in probably 15 to 20 years. I haven't got it down perfect yet. Still moving a little slow out of fear. We are all enjoying it so much though.

I had a great week doing Vacation Bible School last week. I really enjoyed doing Missions this year! Today we had an appointment with the anesthia people for Carson's surgery coming up next week. I am very proud of the boys because they did a nice job waiting and being quiet while I talked with the nurse. This weekend we will be heading to mom's for a July fourth bash. It's always lots of fun. We go swimming and have a cookout and then shoot fireworks off in her driveway. I usually take my nephews and niece to buy fireworks even though they are plenty big enough to take themselves now (being that they are now 17-27). Guess it's just always been a tradition. Thinking of passing it off to someone else...agh who am I kidding? I like having a little control over the fireworks show. I feel like I have to pack half of what we own just to go for a weekend away though! Some storms came through last night and knocked some big limbs down in our backyard. I couldn't sleep due to the thunder and lightening. Hoping tonight will be better and more peaceful. On the agenda for tomorrow: return library books, laundry, and giving the dog a bath.
